If you visit during this time, you’re sure to beat the crowds, avoid the rain, and experience some of the sunniest days of the year. You’ll escape the scalding afternoons of summer, and the cold nights of winter, and instead enjoy a happy medium of sunny days, mild temperatures, and dry conditions, which is the perfect combination for you to relax and truly explore the city.

This time is characterised with hot temperatures and humid days which can make Italy beautiful, if you don’t mind occasional rainfall and possible thunderstorms.

The Verona Jazz Festival takes place in June, in some of the most fascinating, historical venues in the city, for instance, the Roman Theatre and Cortile Mercato Vecchio square, in the old town.

Why fly to Verona?
A city steeped in British literature’s most spiteful and romantic feuding family beckons readers and travellers to plan a visit to Verona in search of history, intrigue, and folklore. All three of these combined create an atmosphere brooding in Shakespearian intensity.
As you walk the city streets, it’s hard to believe that this tragic love affair was indeed fictional, because each corner brings the epic story of Romeo and Juliet to life. With every shadowy passageway, it’s easy to imagine the forbidden lovers’ nightly escapes and with each loud local shouting to another, you can see the Montague and Capulet families’ cutthroat power, force, and greatness among the city’s reality.
Even though it’s widely known as ‘Piccolo Roma’ (Little Rome), this is certainly a city in its own right. Shakespeare’s tragedy may not be real, but it does capture the true essence of the area’s notorious family feuding in the 13th and 14th centuries’. Its history still colours its present with strong family ties, family-owned businesses, and a lot of local connection. Spring and summer lure Italian-bound travellers visiting Verona to stroll the streets and to take advantage of the city in bloom. Marvel at religious architecture, absorb the ancient Renaissance art, and indulge in the incredible recipes of Italian bistros and cafes.
